What a great movie! It's a romantic comedy, where a widower with three daughters meets in a bookstore a woman and she turns out to be his brother's new girlfriend. It's fun and sweet and there are moments where you can't hold the tears at bay.But it got me thinking about those times in your life where you meet a wonderful person that simply just fits you. You can talk for hours and hours on end and you never run out of things to say to each other. Time passes by flying while you're together. And you start to think that maybe here is a person you would really like to know better and, if the feeling is mutual, start a really lasting relationship together.

But then you find out that he (or she, depending your gender and tastes) is already in a relationship. And it feels like you've been hit by a brick. And it's painful. And you start to wonder why the hell you didn't meet him (or her) before he met the other person.A devilish voice appears in your head saying how you'd get a chance if they broke up. But it makes you feel mean, because you wouldn't really want that to happen to the other person. So you smother that bitchy voice and you just keep asking yourself why life is so unfair as to make you meet this person when it was already too late.In the movie (and if you haven't seen it and don't want to know the ending beforehand, please stop reading), Dan ends up with the girl, like in almost all Hollywood movies. And everyone is happy, including his brother, who forgives Dan for stealing his girlfriend. And this makes you wish that those things could really happen in real life, especially in your case.But then, Life isn't a movie. So we can only hope everything ends alright...

If you have time to waste,why am I obligued to waste it too?Professor, come on,I don't go to class to hear you readwhatever the pps tells you to say.I go to class to learn new things,not to hear something I can read by myself.

Don’t say a word, there’s no need. You knew this was coming. Yes, you knew it but didn’t want to face it. Do I think you’re blind? Of course, I knew you saw this coming! But for a while, if only a perfect while you could pretend this wasn’t happening.How sweet it is to live in our perfect dream world, even if at the end of the day you come home and realize it was only a fantasy of yours. Yes, another one.What? Do you think we’re not entitled to have them?Fantasies are always there, making a grab for you. And we, oh hopeless mortals, let them in and fill our souls with the sunshine they bring. And the warmth…And it’s all a fake, because after all, it was just another fantasy. It’s not real. It’s just something that happened in your mind and you end up ruing the day when you mind made it up. Made it ALL up.But anyway, that’s how our minds work. You make up something sooo big, from something sooo small.Just a little unexpected detail that makes you smile. But then, it’s an important fact for you. And immediately engines of your mind start working and working. And the small detail becomes an image. And that image grows, slowly at first, but it grows. Oh, so big it grows until you feel full of life and you smile and you smile, and your heart it’s full to bursting.Reality comes crashing down on you and you can’t help it. The big image your mind created explodes like an overblown balloon. There it goes that fantasy of yours… right to the trash can. And you feel worse than when it all started.Is it worth? Who knows? It depends on your point of view. Of where you’re standing.But don’t you ever wish that just once, just this one time, a fantasy could become reality? Is it just wishful thinking? I hope not…
